NAME

       pnmtoxwd - convert a PNM into an X11 window dump

SYNOPSIS

       pnmtoxwd

       [-pseudodepth n]

       [-directcolor]

       [pnmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pnmtoxwd  reads  a  PNM image as input and produces an X11 window dump as output.  You can
       display this output with xwud.

       Normally, pnmtoxwd produces a StaticGray dump file for PBM and PGM  files.   For  PPM,  it
       writes  a  PseudoColor  dump  file  if  there  are  up  to  256 colors in the input, and a
       DirectColor dump file otherwise.

       In an X11 window dump file, various integers can be represented in either big endian (most
       significant byte first) or little endian code.  Those generated by pnmtoxwd are always big
       endian.

OPTIONS

       In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet,
       see
        Common  Options  ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩  ), pnmtoxwd recognizes the following command
       line options:

       -directcolor

              Output in DirectColor format.

       -pseudodepth 1-16

              Set the depth of PseudoColor dump in bits.  Values between 1 to  16  are  accepted.
              Default is 8 (for a maximum of 256 colors.)
